As for the smells; depending on your site location you are going to have some septic based smells. I've noticed that it seems to emanate from locations that have the large sewage manhole covers. If you are not near one, you'll never notice. If your location is on one (like near site 21) or you walk past it, the smell is unavoidable and unmistakable.
Our first year was Christmas in July and even my stoic older teenagers had so much fun they put their phones down and played!
The staff was very polite... Some of the campers, not so much. Overall we had a great time and met some good people. They had activities,movies,a dance. It was nice.My kids favorite was the pool!We had to drag them out just to eat!
We love this campground for kids. There are activities scheduled everyday and lots of Yogi sightings. There was always something to do! We did crafts (it rained part of the time we were there), pony rides, hay ride, train ride, dance party, petting zoo, and pool. The pool, slides, and water park are great. There is a shallow/walk-in water park area that's great for kids who aren't swimmers yet. We also enjoyed the food delivery from the onsite restaurant right to our site... perfect for snacks around the campfire. The ice cream at the restaurant was good too!!
We had no issues with the cleanliness as noted in other reviews (although we didn't use the bathhouses). All of the staff were friendly and accommodating.
Our second year was the chocolate theme which was also amazing
Spacious full hook-up RV sites, water access, beach, complimentary boat rentals--This campground has a TON to offer for any campers. But let's talk about their pools. They basically have an on site water park. I mean, I played in the pool like every day and I'm a fully grown adult. So I can only imagine how much fun families have here. Highly recommend this spot for a weekend getaway. We stayed for a full week in June and it was amazing. (And not loud and crazy, like you might expect with a family park like this.)
Special props to Andrew who was a saint with the kids. Especially the smaller ones when they would start to cry if they were tagged or their team lost.
We stayed on a perimeter site. It was large spot and the location was wooded with plenty of shade.
Pros: great themes, kids will be kept active and entertained, a large variety of things to do from swimming, jumping pillows, arts and crafts and so much more.
If you have no need of the bathrooms or bathhouses, then this is easily a 5 star location if you have kids.
This year we went to the Wizard (Harry Potter) themed week and the staff again went all out. My kids had an amazing time and I thank the staffso very much for that!
This place is amazing if you have kids! We've gone 3 years in a row and the staff go all out with the themes!
Now, they do clean the bathrooms and bath houses on a regular basis, but the guests at this Jellystone seem to just trash them far more than any other campground we've ever been to. Not sure why that is, but we so often see the staff do a thorough cleaning job and when we go back in 10 minutes later there is trash and toilet paper everywhere.
This was the best family vacation we had! There is just so much to do. I met with my siblings from new jersey and we stayed a few days. It was amazing all the kids had an amazing time even the adults. We will be back!!
Cons: the bathrooms and the smells.
